There is a popular juice spot in the East Village of New York called Liquiteria. It’s where I became addicted to a juice called the “grasshopper” – a mix of apple, pear, pineapple, wheatgrass and mint. All of the good for you leafy ingredients mixed with fruit equal a (seriously) delicious and healthy dose of vitamins. I liked it so much, that I invested in a juicer so I could make it (along with many other juice recipes, fresh apple juice, etc…) whenever I wanted. I try to fill a large bottle twice a week and keep it in the fridge. It’s the perfect pick me up that has incredible benefits for your skin and body.

I’ll drink to that.

INGREDIENTS:

*I just experimented with the portions for each…it sort of always changes, but this is the average. You can customize as you go, if you like more or less of something it’s ok, you really can’t mess it up!

1 Pineapple

About 15 Mint leaves

About 1/2 pack Wheatgrass

3 Pears

4 Apples

HOW TO MAKE:

1. Cut everything so it fits in the juicer slot (mint leaves are okay as they are)
